On to the winter project...
After gluing up stock, I squared up the pieces for the four legs and marked them for the through mortise joints.
On to the mortising machine to "drill" the mortises.
That step was successful.
Then anything that could go wrong...did.
A dado to be cut between the mortise holes became a mess when the fence on the shaper moved. A day of patching saved the stock but then the project came to another halt when the plan called for a series of blind notches. The text mentions using chisels and handsaws for this step. Whoa!!! Hand anything is not my style. It's all about the machinery. So, I've spent a couple days analyzing the plans and making the necessary adjustments to get this done in a more "builder friendly" manner.
I'm ready to continue.
More to come.
